The book

Love, Butterflies & Other Sticky Stories

Separate stories. A family resemblance.

Work in progress

The chapters are linked. Characters step out of one story and into the next, and what looks like a collection gradually turns out to be a single, sprawling family of people who keep colliding.

Expect stories about memory, friendship, grief and family, told in plain language with the kind of humour that turns up in real families, usually just when it’s needed. It’s warm, and it’s not squeamish about the harder bits.

The manuscript is still being revised. No publication date to announce yet; the stories are still having their arguments with one another. Agents, editors and readers who would like to hear when it is ready are welcome to get in touch.
